So if we are doing any temperature comparisons we must use the Kelvin temperature scale. Assuming the average temperature of Earth is 15 C (288K) and that the temperature has increased by 1 degree C (1 K) then the percentage increase in energy (or temperature if you like) is 1/288 = 0.35% or 3.5 parts Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11125672440986197805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9481975.post-2444845142655518082010-10-13T16:34:40.841-04:002010-10-13T16:34:40.841-04:00Lovely simple article...

Just shows that the temperature increse we have seen is not a modern, post-WWII thing, but a gradual increase since, in this graph, 1880.
